Canned in a little stubbie 330ml crafty craft can and part of a beer 52 delivery
Pours a fairly clear body with good white head
Aroma cabbage and lemon
Flavour is malty biscuits with lime

 

330 ml can, from Helgø Meny Stadionparken. ABV 4.1%. Hazy golden colour, large white head. Lovely aroma of mango, papaya and other tropical fruits. Citric mouthfeel. Medium sweet flavour of tropical fruits, distinctly bitter finish.

Bit of a gusher. Pours clear pale orange, with a decent white head. Smell is citrussy, light, fresh. Light mouthfeel, tad watery but what you'd expect. Taste is fairly malty first, but a nice hit of hops arrive. Crisp, some bitterness, light citrus. Fresh

 

 

Light orange, slightly hazy. One finger of solid foam.
Hoppy smell, quite fresh, citrus notes, then grassy.
Then tropical fruit, and again tropical in the mouth.
Light body, bitter aftertaste, quite long, tropical.
Not too session, not too interesting, but drinkable.

 

A 330ml can with a BB of March 2018. Purchased a little while back from Morrisons. Described on the label as a session IPA.

A: Poured into an IPA glass. Can-conditioned. A rich, hazy orange-amber hue with good carbonation and fine suspended sediment. Produces a vast head of creamy white foam that hangs around for a while before slowly reducing to a patchy surface layer. Nice lacing.

S: Aroma of intensely fruity hops with hints of clementine, citrus zest, tropical fruit, white grape, vague melon, grass/hay, leafiness, caramel malt, ale yeast and a lingering earthiness in the background. Superb.

T: Tastes of supremely fruity aromatic hops with notes of grapefruit, citrus zest, peel, tropical fruit, white grape, grass/hay, leafiness, ale yeast, earthiness and caramel malt. Pretty dry, followed by a robust hop-driven bitterness upon swallowing.

M: Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and dry, with lively carbonation and good body for the strength. Somewhat astringent; hop oils tickle the palate. Aftertaste of bitter aromatic hops, grapefruit, citrus, tropical fruit, earthy yeast and caramel malt.

O: Excellent - a top notch session IPA. Looks great, while the aroma and flavour are stuffed with fruity hops, caramel malt and earthy yeast. Nice body. Goes down a treat; well worth sampling if you have the chance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Slightly hazy golden color with off-white head. Aroma has dank hops with overripe orange notes and wet grass. Taste is also dank and hoppy with pine resin, grass and pungent resiny hop bitterness on the finish. Light body, medium plus carbonation, quite dry on the aftertaste. Overall it's a well made, more classic pale ale with resiny hops and a good amount of bitterness.

Can at home. Hazy golden pour with a white head. Notes of grassy hops, lemon zest, unripe bananas and unripe mango. Very little sweetness. Medium to light body with high carbonation and a bitter finish.
